How Long Does Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) Last?



Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical hair loss treatment where tiny pigment deposits are placed on the scalp to replicate the appearance of hair follicles. The longevity of SMP varies based on several factors, but here's a general overview:

  1. Duration: SMP typically lasts between 4 to 6 years on average. Over time, the pigments will gradually fade.

  2. Fading: While the pigments used in SMP are permanent, they can fade over time due to various factors like sun exposure, skin type, and the quality of the pigments used. Fading can be gradual and subtle.

  3. Touch-ups: To maintain the appearance and vibrancy of the SMP treatment, touch-up sessions might be required every few years. These sessions can help refresh the look and address any areas where the pigment has faded more significantly.

  4. Aftercare: Proper aftercare can extend the longevity of SMP. This includes avoiding direct sun exposure on the treated area (or using a high SPF sunscreen), avoiding swimming in chlorinated water for a few weeks after the procedure, and following any other care instructions provided by the SMP practitioner.

  5. Individual Variation: The longevity of SMP can also vary based on individual factors like skin type, metabolism, immune system, and lifestyle. For instance, individuals with oily skin might experience faster fading compared to those with dry skin.

It's essential to consult with a qualified SMP practitioner to get a better understanding of what to expect based on individual circumstances and to ensure the best possible results.
